  Side of the road pretty common to see them

    Not in Berlin. I see them sometimes, but not often enough. I want one now ^^

      Out of curiosity, what do you think Berlin’s secret is in this regard? Like do people naturally not litter e-waste, or are there easier recycling options, import restrictions, or enforced litter laws?

  Most that I’ve found have been on the ground near bus stops.

  Some cannabis dispensaries collect old/dead ones to recycle.

    Oh that’s a good idea, I think supermarkets also collect batteries in general to recycle, maybe there I can find empty vapes.

      I took a peek in a recycling bin last time I was at Target and saw a handful of vapes in there, this would be a good place to start.

  Is there a particular reason that an 18650 or 21700 would suit your use case less?

    Yeah I don’t have one around ^^

    Actually though that’s not true, last night I found an old device of me that I could harvest a 18650 battery from.

  On the ground, near bus stops, parking lots, gas stations, anywhere people use them.
